In another post on X, Nithya Menen mentioned the news was originally shared by Buzz Basket. She wrote, “We are all here for such a short period of time. It always surprises me how much wrong we do to each other :) I point this out today because only accountability stops bad behaviour. Be better humans – Buzz Basket, Lets Cinema and all the others who have followed this bandwagon.”
